So, I started my pill late. I missed a bunch of them. I'm generally only taking them to avoid ovarian cysts. Anyway, I "spotted" on the twelfth for approximately half the day. Then, I spotted again on the 14th, for about the same amount of time. Both times were brownish discharge. Then, we had some Valentine's sex last night, which produced a little bit of red blood (when I wiped) afterwards. I'm also getting headaches almost everyday. What do you all think?

i think you need to check with your dr to see if there is a better birth controll method for you. missing pills could contribute to constantly fluxuating hormone levels which can cause both spotting and headaches. (and also pregnancy) so if i were you i would head to the dr to find a better option.

Yes, everything you are experiencing now can simply be due to fluctuating hormones by missing those pills.

However, missing pills while having unprotected sex can also result in pregnancy. If you were having sex while not taking your pills these symptoms can also indicate pregnancy. In fact, you'll want to use another form of birth control for the rest of this cycle if you want to prevent pregnancy

There isn't much else I can use because of other contributing factors. I cannot use the IUD due to the fact that it increases the chance of ovarian cysts. I can't use any shots of implantation device because of the risk of depression. I'm not worried about getting pregnant. It wouldn't be a problem, we would be happy despite the less than stellar timing. I am on the pill right now to prevent cysts
